Well. I haven't disappeared. However, I don't think I'll be blogging here for awhile. Probably at least until Midwinter, possibly the turn of the year. Currently, I am swamped. My darling infant has turned into a daring toddler AND I am working on several other projects (because I always overbook myself) in those brief moments when he isn't crawling full speed toward disaster, injury or at least a big mess. Not to mention trips to in-laws and other crazy holiday stuff.

For the curious, here they are:

I just finished porting the Pagan Michigan website over to a new server because the old one was just too expensive for me. But that's done now. Thank goodness.

I am working on making the Witchipedia more interactive. This involves creating a subsite with forums, a directory of resources, and I'm thinking of doing some fun group activities as well. Thinking. I have no deadline for this. I'm just going to fiddle around with it till I like it then launch it.

I am also working toward making The Kitchen Witch Corner more interactive. Like... cook-offs & such. I dunno. We'll see.

I am also working on a series of children's books. I am in the market for an illustrator who would like to go 50/50 with me on this project, by the way. I'm looking for black and white coloring book style images and diagrams, plus color cover work. I can do this myself, but I am not a confident artist so it will take forever if I try. This is the most important thing I'm working on right now.

I am working on a Pagan Parenting networking site scheduled to launch the first of the year 2013. Anyone who wants to help me out with that would be most welcome. Guest bloggers and forum moderators are especially needed.

I train dogs for my "day job". Normally I trying 3-4 a week, but lately I've had more clients than I can handle. Spring and fall are my busy times. I am looking for an apprentice, by the way. In Oakland County, Michigan, to train to take over the after 4pm clients.

So, that's what I'm doing instead of blogging here. I promise to get back in the swing of things in a few months. If you want to be involved with any of my projects, just shoot me an email at dawn.black@gmail.com and, no I do not need help with SEO or marketing at this time. Only content and moderation.

I am also rethinking this blog. I mean... what's it all about really? I am thinking I would like to make it more personal. A sort of public journal. Would you hate that? I used to blog about dating and college and work and raising wild & crazy kids and people used to laugh. But then people saw themselves in my blogs and got angry. Or people I knew saw too much of myself in my blogs and got suspicious. You know. SO... anyway. I'll sort it out.
